Hello Tommy
I will start the ball rolling on this one !
There a five Francis Shepherds on SP - with a year range of 1800/1825 - born 1802 /05/ 10 /15 and 17 none with the middle name Graham (although many tended to throw a family name as a middle name in later in life, thankfully) or a mother with that maiden sir name.
Does it name a father on the marriage certificate ?
I cant see a marriage on freebmd so maybe it was pre 1837 ?
Is this your Sarah - making her appr 7 years older than Francis.........
